The complete new pier and scope setup

Tall centre column configuration

Tests at 250X magnification have shown that the damping time of this configuration
is around 2 sec after a solid knuckle rap on the centre column, less than 2 sec
with a solid rap on the OTA and a rap near the eyepiece damps in around 1 sec!

Please contact me if you would like a pier like this one m.sidonio@bigpond.com


other sizes: small medium large original auto
